Notes on Editing

You can edit the recorded tracks after recording, using the following functions:

• Erase Function allows you to erase recorded tracks simply by specifying the corresponding track number.
• Divide Function allows you to divide tracks at specified points so that you can quickly locate those points afterwards, using the AMS function.
• Combine Function allows you to combine two consecutive tracks into one.
• Move Function allows you to change the order of tracks by moving a specific track to a track position you want.
• Title Function allows you to create titles for your recorded MDs and tracks.

When 'TOC' flashes in the display
Do not move the deck or pull out the AC power cord. After editing, "TOC" lights continuously until you eject the MD or turn off the power. "TOC" flashes while the deck is updating the TOC. When the deck finishes updating the TOC, "TOC" goes off.

Erasing Recordings (Erase Function)

• A single track
• All tracks
• Portions of a track (A-B Erase)

Erasing a single track

To avoid confusion when erasing multiple tracks, you should proceed in order of high to low track number to prevent the renumbering of tracks that have not been erased yet.

1. Turn AMS until the track number you want to erase appears in the display.
2. Press EDIT/NO repeatedly until "Erase ?" appears in the display. The track number you selected starts flashing in the music calendar.
3. Press YES. When the track selected in Step 1 has been erased, "Complete" appears for a few seconds and the total number of tracks in the music calendar decreases by one. If you erase a track during playback, the track following the deleted track begins playing afterwards.
4. Repeat Steps 1 to 3 to erase more tracks.

Note
If "Erase!! ?"appears in the display, the track was recorded or edited on another MD deck and is record-protected. If this indication appears, press YES to erase the track.

Erasing all tracks on an MD

1. While the deck is stopped, press EDIT/NO repeatedly until "All Erase ?" appears in the display.
2. Press YES. All tracks in the music calendar start flashing.
3. Press YES again. When the disc name, all recorded tracks, and titles on the MD have been erased, "Complete" appears for a few seconds and the music calendar disappears.

You can undo a track erasion
See "Undoing the Last Edit" on page 33.

Erasing a Portion of a Track (A-B Erase Function)

1. While playing a disc, press 1 1 at the starting point (point A) of the portion to be erased.
2. Press EDIT/NO repeatedly until "A~B Erase ?" appears in the display.
3. Press YES. "Rehearsal" alternates with "Point A ok?" in the display and the starting point A of the portion to be erased plays back repeatedly.
4. If point A is incorrect, press EDIT/NO. (If it is correct, go to Step 7.)
5. While monitoring the sound, turn AMS to find point A. "Rehearsal" alternates with "Point A ok?" in the display and point A is played back repeatedly. Point A can be moved within a maximum range of -128 to +127 steps of about 0.06 second each within a track.
6. If point A is still incorrect, repeat Step 5 until it is correct.
7. Press YES or AMS when point A is correct. After "Point B Set" appears for a few seconds, "" and "A-B" start flashing, and playback begins so that you can set point B.
8. Continue playing the track or press until you reach the ending point (point B) of the portion to be erased, then press YES. "Rehearsal" alternates with "Point B ok?" in the display, and the "spliced" portion of the track (after the portion from point A to B has been erased) plays back repeatedly, starting a few seconds before point A and ending a few seconds after point B.
9. If point B is incorrect, press EDIT/NO. (If it is correct go to Step 12.)
10. While monitoring the sound, turn AMS to find point B. "Rehearsal" alternates with "Point B ok?" in the display, and the "spliced" portion of the track (after the portion from point A to B has been erased) plays back repeatedly. Point B can be moved within a maximum range of -128 to +127 steps of about 0.06 second each within a track.
11. If point B is still incorrect, repeat Step 10 until it is correct.
12. Press YES or AMS when point B is correct. When the portion from point A to B has been erased, "Complete" appears for a few seconds.

Notes
If "Impossible" appears in the display, point B was specified before point A. Specify point B so that it comes after point A. If "Sorry" appears in the display, a portion of the track cannot be erased. This sometimes happens when you've edited the same track many times, and is due to a technical limitation of the MD system, not a mechanical error.

Dividing Recorded Tracks (Divide Function)

Example: Dividing track 2 to create a new track for C

1. While playing the MD, press 11 at the point where you want to create a new track. The deck pauses playing.
2. Press EDIT/NO repeatedly until "Divide appears in the display.
3. Press YES to divide the track. "Rehearsal" alternates with "Position ok?" in the display, the track to be divided starts flashing in the music calendar, and the starting portion of 'the new track begins playing repeatedly.
4. If the starting position is incorrect, press EDIT/NO. (If it is correct, go to Step 7.)

5. While monitoring the sound, turn AMS to find the starting position of the new track. The starting portion of the new track is played back repeatedly. "Rehearsal" alternates with "Position ok?" in the display. The starting position can be moved within a maximum range of -128 to +127 steps of about 0.06 second each within a track.
6. If the starting position is still incorrect, repeat Step 5 until it is correct.
7. Press YES or AMS when the position is correct. When the track has been divided, "Complete" appears for a few seconds and the newly created track begins playing. The new track will have no track title even if the original track was labeled.

You can undo a track division
Combine the tracks again (see "Combining Recorded Tracks" on this page) then redivide the tracks if necessary.

5. If the place is correct, press YES. When the tracks have been combined, "Complete" appears for a few seconds and the total number of tracks in the music calendar decreases by one. If both of the combined tracks have track titles, the title of the second track is erased. sol> To cancel the Combine Function
